Data Protection & DPDPA Compliance Policy

Our internal framework for handling candidate and client data responsibly, aligned to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Last updated: August 2026 · HireClove Services LLP

Our Commitment

As a workforce and talent consulting firm, personal data is central to what we do. HireClove treats responsible data handling as a professional obligation, not a compliance formality -- particularly given the volume of candidate data we process on behalf of client organisations.

Data Minimisation

We collect only the personal data reasonably necessary for a specific recruitment, payroll, or advisory purpose, and avoid requesting sensitive personal data unless directly relevant to a role or statutory requirement.

Purpose Limitation

Data collected for one engagement (for example, a specific role search) is not repurposed for unrelated marketing or commercial use without separate consent.

Data Processor Relationships

Where HireClove processes personal data on behalf of a client (for example, in Payroll Management or Managed Workforce engagements), the terms of that processing -- including data ownership, retention, and deletion on contract termination -- are set out in the relevant client agreement.

Breach Response

In the event of a personal data breach, HireClove will assess impact, take immediate containment steps, and notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required under applicable law.

Employee & Vendor Training

Team members handling candidate or client data receive periodic guidance on data-handling obligations, and third-party vendors with data access are bound by confidentiality and data-protection clauses in their service agreements.
